The device was released five years after the previous iPad (4th generation), as the iPad Air was released in 2013 as the successor to the iPad lineup. The iPad Air lineup later continued as a separate, higher-end device, while the iPad was positioned as an entry-level model.
Unlike the iPad Air 2, this iPad does not have a fully laminated display, and also lacks an anti-reflective coating.
On March 27, 2018, Apple announced its successor, the sixth-generation iPad. This also marked the discontinuation of the 2017 iPad.
